Questions & Answers about من مجبور هستم برای نگه داشتن این آتلیه تقلا کنم، چه برسد به اینکه پول پسانداز کنم.
Why is the verb پسانداز کنم in the present subjunctive form?
The phrase چه برسد به اینکه (let alone) introduces an action that is highly improbable compared to the first part of the sentence. Because saving money is framed as an unlikely, hypothetical scenario rather than a reality, Farsi requires the present subjunctive—here, پسانداز کنم (I save).
I see مجبور هستم at the beginning and تقلا کنم much later. How do they work together here?
They form a single grammatical unit meaning "I am forced to struggle." In Farsi, the trigger phrase (مجبور هستم) is often separated from its subjunctive verb (تقلا کنم) by other details. Here, the phrase برای نگه داشتن این آتلیه (to keep this studio) interrupts them. Recognizing this separation helps you track the core meaning of complex sentences.
Why does the sentence use the infinitive نگه داشتن instead of a subjunctive verb for "to keep"?
When using the preposition برای (for/to), you have two choices. You can follow it directly with the full infinitive, like برای نگه داشتن (for keeping). Alternatively, you can use برای اینکه followed by the subjunctive: برای اینکه نگه دارم. The infinitive version used here is very natural and prevents the sentence from feeling cluttered with too many subjunctive verbs.
Can I use نجات دادن instead of پسانداز کردن for "to save"?
No, Farsi has distinct verbs for different meanings of "save." پسانداز کردن specifically means to save or set aside money and resources. If you used نجات دادن, it would imply the money was in physical danger and you were literally rescuing it!
